Neil inspired me to go in search of this, and by golly I found what I was looking for.

Scroll down to the "documents" area at the bottom of the page, and click on any one of them. I have read thru most of the first tale, but it is very hard to read. It takes time to disipher the wordage, but very interesting.

It is not that I am going back on my stance that slavery was not the main reason for the war, but I realized that we are talking about slavery without stepping foot into their world. Without seeing thru their eyes, and this site really gives some insight. I hope you all find it as interesting as I have, and if you have seen it before, sorry to have posted it again, but from what I could see, this part of the topic has not been really looked into.
